Community Plan Areas: Central City
Project Description: The subject of this SCEA is the proposed 350 South Figueroa Project, located at 350 – 356 S. Figueroa St., 830 W. Third St., 825 W. Fourth St., and 333 – 361 S. Flower St., Los Angeles, CA 90071; Central Los Angeles, Bunker Hill Specific Plan area. The Project site encompasses an area of approximately 160,140 sq. ft. (3.68 acres) and is bound by Figueroa Street to the northwest, Third Street to the northeast, Fourth Street to the southwest, and Flower Street to the southeast. The site is currently developed with the World Trade Center. The project site is zoned C4-4D and designated as Regional Center Commercial land use. The C4 zone permits a range of commercial and residential uses by right. The Project site is located within Height District 4, as indicated by the "-4D" attached to the zoning designation, which ordinarily limits the FAR to 13:1 without restriction to building height. However, the "D" limitation limits FAR at the Project site to 6:1. The Project includes the proposed demolition of an approximately 29,500-square-foot portion of an existing office and commercial structure and construction of a new, 41-story residential building integrated into the existing structure. The Project would add approximately 624,500 square feet of new residential floor area at the southwest corner of the Project site for a combined 925,000 square feet of floor area. The residential building would be a maximum of 480 feet in height and contain 570 residential units. The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of the Project would be 5.8:1
